FAQs
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and everyday activities. They offer great comfort but lack the technical stability features required for long-distance running.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, the laces are adjustable, allowing you to secure the fit to your preference, though you can still use the slip-in feature once they are set.
How should I clean the memory foam insoles?
It is best to let them air dry if they become damp. Do not remove the insoles to machine wash them, as this can affect their shape.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some stretch, but the heel pillow design requires a secure fit; those with very wide feet should test them for comfort.
What is the heel pillow for?
The heel pillow is an exclusive design element that creates a snug, locked-in feel to ensure the shoe doesn't slip off while you walk.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
While the factory insoles are designed for comfort, they are usually glued into place. Attempting to remove them might damage the internal structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels like it is slipping out
Ensure the shoe is fully on by pushing your heel firmly into the heel pillow; adjust the laces if necessary for a tighter lockdown.
Insole feels too firm initially
Memory foam takes time to adapt to your foot shape; wear the shoes for a few short sessions to allow the foam to compress and conform to your unique stride.
Mesh upper is getting dusty
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently wipe away debris from the geometric patterns on the mesh.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Convenient hands-free entry system
- Excellent underfoot comfort with memory foam
- Propulsive feel from the geometric midsole
- Secure fit provided by the integrated heel pillow
- Lightweight and breathable materials
Cons
- May require breaking in to adjust to the snug heel pillow
- Limited to specific aesthetic styles
- Not intended for high-intensity competitive sport
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, slide your foot into the shoe firmly; the heel pillow is designed to compress slightly and then grip the back of your heel.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes; if you typically wear thicker sports socks, ensure your foot does not feel cramped against the mesh toe box.
- Care Instructions: To keep the Air-Cooled Memory Foam fresh, store the shoes in a well-ventilated area after use. If they become dirty, spot-clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the memory foam and the adhesive on the hotmelt overlays.
